UCSB's Long Range Development Plan   In 1990, the University updated its Long Range Development Plan (LRDP) to plan for our next 20 years. It is now time to review the existing LRDP and revise it to address the University's plans to the year 2025. The LRDP is a planning tool that will shape how the campus will change over the next two decades, including changes in our academic programs and the development of additional campus housing for students, faculty, and staff.
